Auto-refresh

Is there an auto refresh option? I think that would be beneficial to those who answer help questions.
I like the sites that refresh on every page visit, even when hitting the back button.

Thanks

Can I just add <?php header('Refresh: 5'); ?>

php in templates is turned off by default because it is a major security risk. What are you trying to refresh? viewtopic.php, viewforum.php or everything? You could try adding a meta refresh to the top of the page. It will be a bummer though for anyone making a long post in the 'quick reply' box.

Yeah I actually did that on a website that I built and I found out it was not so wise. I typed out a long post only to have page refresh and I lost it all. Lessons learned.
